(A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1 - Operations and business risk factors: Castle Hill Associates, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 12, 2000 to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business entity which desires to seek the perceived advantages of a corporation which has a class of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, an issuer who has registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933 becomes subject to the periodic and annual reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934 (and is often referred to as a "reporting company"). The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business industry or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to the stockholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against potential gains from another. The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, develop a new product or service or for other corporate purposes. The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Management believes (but has not conducted any research to confirm) that there are business entities seeking the perceived benefits of a company having a class of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity to use securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for stockholders and other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex. The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets. The Company relies exclusively on its stockholders for liquidity and will only be able to continue as a going concern with the financial support of its stockholders. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a reporting company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. Management has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a business combination for the owners of a target company. 6 CASTLE HILL ASSOCIATES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 2 - Unaudited interim financial statements: The Company had not conducted any commercial operations through January 31, 2001 and, accordingly, it was in the development stage as of that date. Management does not expect the Company to generate any revenues until such time that an acquisition of an operating company is consummated, if ever. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2001, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2001 and the related cumulative amounts for the period from April 12, 2000 (date of inception) to January 31, 2001 and the changes in stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and the related cumulative amounts for the period from April 12, 2000 (date of inception) to January 31, 2001. Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 2000 has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as of April 30, 2000 and for the period from April 12, 2000 (date of inception) to April 30, 2000, (the "Audited Financial Statements") included in the Company's Registration on Form 10-SB (the "Form 10-SB") for the period ended April 30, 2000 that was previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these condensed financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements and the other information also included in the Form 10-SB. Note 3 - Net earnings (loss) per share: The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share and, if appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, were issued during the period. Diluted per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations because the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2001 and the period from April 12, 2000 (date of inception) through January 31, 2001. 7 CASTLE HILL ASSOCIATES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 3 - Net earnings (loss) per share (concluded): The 1,000,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2001 shown in the accompanying statements of operations have been retroactively adjusted for a 1-for-4 reverse stock split that was effected on January 11, 2001 (see Note 4). Note 4 - Reverse stock split: On December 21, 2000, the stockholders approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split that was effected on January 11, 2001. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse stock split. Note 5 - Related party transactions: The Company has entered into an agreement with Capital Advisory Partners, LLC ("CAP") pursuant to which CAP will supervise the search for potential target companies for a business combination. CAP owns 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The agreement will continue until such time that the Company has consummated a business combination. CAP has agreed to pay all expenses of the Company without repayment until such time that a business combination is consummated, if ever. In the three and nine months ended January 31, 2001, CAP incurred expenses on behalf of the Company totaling $1,068 and $54,242, respectively (it did not incur any such expenses prior to that period) and, accordingly, the Company recorded a charge to operations and a contribution to capital in that amount, when CAP paid these expenses. CAP has entered into agreements, and anticipates that it will enter into other agreements, with other consultants to assist it in locating a potential target company and CAP may share its stock in the Company with, or grant options on such stock to, such referring consultants and may make payment to such consultants from its own resources. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stock, options or cash that CAP may grant or pay to such consultants. CAP is solely responsible for the costs and expenses of its activities in seeking a potential target company, including any agreements with consultants, and the Company has no obligation to pay any costs incurred or negotiated by CAP. CAP anticipates that it may seek to locate a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who may be contacted or solicited. As of January 31, 2001, CAP had not made any solicitations and did not anticipate that it would do so. CAP expects to rely on consultants in the business and financial communities for referrals of potential target companies. Patricia A. Meding, who is the sole officer and director of the Company, is the sole officer, director and controlling stockholder of CAP. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. OVERVIEW Castle Hill Associates, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 12, 2000 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date other than issuing shares to its original shareholders. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with the Company. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting ("public") company with a class of registered securities. The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. PLAN OF OPERATION The Company is a blank check company whose plan of operation over the next twelve months is to seek and, if possible, acquire an operating business or valuable assets by entering into a business combination. The Company will not be restricted in its search for business combination candidates to any particular geographical area, industry or industry segment, and may enter into a combination with a private business engaged in any line of business, including service, finance, mining, manufacturing, real estate, oil and gas, distribution, transportation, medical, communications, high technology, biotechnology or any other. Management's discretion is, as a practical matter, unlimited in the selection of a combination candidate. Management of the Company will seek combination candidates in the United States and other countries, as available time and resources permit, through existing associations and by word of mouth. This plan of operation has been adopted in order to attempt to create value for the Company's shareholders. For further information on the Company's plan of operation and business, please consult the Company's registration statement on Form 10SB-12G available on the EDGAR system of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to do any product research or development. The Company does not expect to buy or sell any real estate, plant or equipment except as such a purchase might occur by way of a business combination that is structured as an asset purchase, and no such asset 9 purchase currently is anticipated. Similarly, the Company does not expect to add additional employees or any full-time employees except as a result of completing a business combination, and any such employees likely will be persons already then employed by the company acquired. The Company has not engaged in any negotiations with any specific entity regarding the possibility of a business combination with the Company. The Company has entered into an agreement with Capital Advisory Partners, LLC, a shareholder of the Company, to supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business combination. The agreement will continue until such time as the Company has effected a business combination. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has agreed to pay all expenses of the Company without repayment until such time as a business combination is effected. Patricia A. Meding, who is the sole officer and director of the Company, is the sole officer and director and controlling shareholder of Capital Advisory Partners, LLC. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC may only locate potential target companies for the Company and is not authorized to enter into any agreement with a potential target company binding the Company. The Company's agreement with Capital Advisory Partners, LLC is not exclusive and Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has entered into agreements with other companies similar to the Company on similar terms. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC may provide assistance to target companies incident to and following a business combination, and receive payment for such assistance from target companies. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC anticipates that it may seek to locate a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who may be contacted or solicited. To date Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has not made any solicitations, does not anticipate that it will do so, and expects to rely on referrals from consultants in the business and financial communities for referrals of potential target companies. COMPETITION. The Company will be in direct competition with many entities in its efforts to locate suitable business opportunities. Included in the competition will be business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies, venture capital affiliates of industrial and financial companies, broker- dealers and investment bankers, management and management consultant firms and private individual investors. Most of these entities will possess greater financial resources and will be able to assume greater risks than those which the Company, with its limited capital, could consider. Many of these competing entities will also possess significantly greater experience and contacts than the Company's Management. Moreover, the Company also will be competing with numerous other blank check companies for such opportunities. EMPLOYEES. The Company has no employees nor are there any other persons other than Ms. Meding who devote any time to its affairs. It is not expected that the Company will have employees except as a result of completing a combination. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During the nine and three months ended January 31, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $54,242 and $1,068 respectively. This was due to general and administrative expenses, 10 including professional fees, incurred by the Company in connection with its formation, the filing of a registration statement on Form 10-SB and other Filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company paid no rent or salaries and had no other operations during the aforementioned periods or since inception. LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had $400 cash on hand at the end of the quarter and had no other assets to meet ongoing expenses or debts that may accumulate. Since inception, the Company has accumulated a deficit (net loss) of $54,242. The Company has no commitment for any capital expenditure and foresees none. However, the Company will incur routine fees and expenses incident to its reporting duties as a public company, and it will incur expenses in finding and investigating possible acquisitions and other fees and expenses in the event it makes an acquisition or attempts but is unable to complete an acquisition. The Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months are relatively modest, principally accounting expenses and other expenses relating to making filings required under the Exchange Act, which should not exceed $10,000 in the next twelve months. Any travel, lodging or other expenses which may arise related to finding, investigating and attempting to complete a combination with one or more potential acquisitions could also amount to thousands of dollars. The Company will only be able to pay its future debts and meet operating expenses by raising additional funds, acquiring a profitable company or otherwise generating positive cash flow. As a practical matter, the Company is unlikely to generate positive cash flow by any means other than acquiring a company with such cash flow. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has agreed to pay all expenses of the Company without repayment until such times as a business combination is effected. However, it is not certain that Capital Advisory Partners, LLC will be financially able to do so. The Company has no intention of borrowing money to reimburse or pay salaries to any officer, director or shareholder of the Company or their affiliates. There currently are no plans to sell additional securities of the Company to raise capital, although sales of securities may be necessary to obtain needed funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission and certain states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of blank check companies. The Company does not plan to issue or sell any shares or take any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan and it is no longer classified as a blank check company. Should Capital Advisory Partners, LLC or other shareholders refuse to advance needed funds, however, the Company would be forced to turn to outside parties to either loan money to the Company or buy the Company's securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise necessary funds from outside sources. Such a lack of funds could result in severe consequences to the Company, including among others: (1) failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act; (2) curtailing or eliminating the Company's ability to locate and perform suitable investigations of potential acquisitions; or (3) inability to complete a desirable acquisition due to lack of funds to pay legal and accounting fees and acquisition-related expenses. 11 The Company hopes to require potential candidate companies to deposit funds with the Company that it can use to defray professional fees and travel, lodging and other due diligence expenses incurred by the Company's management related to finding and investigating a candidate company and negotiating and consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that any potential candidate will agree to make such a deposit.
